Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

I have a calender setup that is showing standard for all my activities and what I want is to change them all to a 7 day working week.

I have added the column calender in and then I chose one activity with the 7 day a week in it, but it is not allowing me to select that column and fill down to all the others. (Fill Down option is greyed out)

 

Any Ideas

Thanks

Hi Siddic,

Please select all the activities which you want to change their IDs. Go to Edit and select renumber activity ids. You can see the manu which will allow you to change the activity ids by increasing its number, Auto number which you can assign what you want for new ids or just to replace beginning characters of your id.

Hope this will help.

Cheers

You do not need to select the column only the cell with the calendar info the hold the 'shift" key down and go to the cell at the bottom of the Calendar Column "click" on that cell and then fill down...

P6 highlites every thing but only fills down the column you are in , hope this helps...
